Kiawah Island boasts a thriving luxury market with a consistently high demand for high-end properties, both as private residences and income-producing rentals. This results in strong occupancy rates and impressive rental income, especially during peak seasons. With limited real estate, and few acreage oceanfront properties, Kiawah Island presents a unique opportunity for property value growth. The scarcity of such properties, coupled with high demand, fuels consistent property value appreciation.
140 Flyway is perfect for investors seeking a high-performing rental property. Its flexible layout allows for single-level residential living with a luxurious master wing, loft, and dedicated office space. The upper and lower bedrooms can accommodate guests or overflow when needed. The current owner has successfully secured loyal renters through VRBO, many of whom book well in advance and return year after year.
Nestled on a secluded 1.03-acre oceanfront property, this residence offers a host of amenities, including a private pool and a personal boardwalk granting you access to Kiawah Island’s 10 miles of unspoiled beach. Designed by renowned Charleston architect Mitch LePlante, this home is a masterpiece of architectural prowess. Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall transom-topped windows flood the interior with natural light and provide breathtaking, uninterrupted ocean views.
Craftsmanship abounds through arched entryways showcasing built-ins, window seats, custom millwork, wide baseboards, and crown molding throughout this fabulous home. The property’s allure begins with a new driveway elegantly lined with lush native vegetation, mature oak trees, and palmettos, ensuring your privacy. It leads to a welcoming open courtyard with brick steps and an entry portico.
Spanning four levels, the home includes seven spacious bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. The first level features four bedrooms and bathrooms, two on each side of a spacious family recreation room with a wet bar and powder room. Family and friends will relish easy entry to the pool terrace and covered patio from this level. All oceanfront bedrooms on levels 1 and 2 include a private covered porch offering serene ocean views.
The second level is the heart of the home, supporting the main living spaces and the primary suite wing. The great room immediately captures your attention with its panoramic ocean views, an impressive stone fireplace, a two-story arched ceiling, and warm heart of pine flooring accented with maple inlay. The open kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, a center island, and a breakfast bar, connecting seamlessly with the great room and the dining room. Come out to the covered deck for al fresco dining, or gather on the full rear deck with rocking chairs, where you can savor views of the natural vegetation, dunes, and the vast ocean. Two staircases frame the pool terrace, which leads to the private beach access.
A separate office, laundry room, and powder room are conveniently located just down the hall from the kitchen. The generous primary suite with a loft encompasses the west side, offering a second stone fireplace, a sitting area, and a covered deck with ocean vistas. A spacious loft with built-ins, a desk with a workstation, and more ocean views complete the primary suite. The oversized dual primary baths and dressing rooms with built-ins add true luxury to this space.
The third level comprises a mother-in-law suite or a teenager’s retreat with a sitting room. A hallway with a Juliette balcony overlooking the great room leads to the fourth level private retreat, ensuring ample space and privacy for all occupants.
Owning this oceanfront estate at 140 Flyway means more than just acquiring a piece of paradise; it’s about securing a wise investment with unmatched potential.
